Rashmika Mandanna: The smell of the first rain it's the best

Bollywood star Rashmika Mandanna shares her love for rain's unique fragrance while balancing her busy film schedule

"The smell of the first rain it's the best smell and feeling - Rashmika Mandanna"

Mumbai, May 24

Actress Rashmika Mandanna says she loves the smell of the first rain, although she's not a big fan of how it tends to slow everything down.

Rashmika took to Instagram and shared a reel of the rain, accompanied by a quote that read: 'The scent of Mother Earth when it rains’.

“So the rains are backkkk.. I'm not a big fan of how they make everything a little slower where we're working but my god!! The smell of the first rain it's the best smell and feeling You know what I mean? It's the loveliest,” she wrote as the caption.

On the professional front, Rashmika has her diary full with Aditya Sarpotdar's “Thama,” co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana, along with “Kubera,” “Pushpa 3”, “The Girlfriend,” and “Rainbow.”

On May 20, the actress looked stunning in black as she strutted the red carpet during the Zee Cine Awards 2025.

The 'Animal' actress was seen carrying a black contemporary fusion saree with utmost grace. Her blouse included a deep sweetheart neckline with a net waist. She accessorised her look with golden heart-shaped earrings and brown toned makeup. The stunner decided to leave her hair open with a middle parting.

"After a while, I was back on the red carpet again...All the love pouring in makes my heart so happy. Just wanted to show you what I wore that day..", Rashmika wrote in the caption.

Thanking her team, she added, "Biggest shoutout to my team.. they’ve always got my back. The only way I survive these incredibly tough, busy days is because of them and my family. Bone-crushing hugs to each one of you."

Her latest film was “Chhaava”, which was screened at Maharashtra's remote tribal district of Gadchiroli in an inflatable cinema hall.

Based on the life of Sambhaji Maharaj, filmmaker Laxman Utekar's Dinesh Vijan-produced 'Chhaava' served as the perfect film to encourage footfalls and cinema viewing culture in the region.

Petrichor is truly magical! Rashmika put it so beautifully. In Bangalore, we wait eagerly for that first rain after summer - the whole city comes alive with that earthy fragrance. Though traffic becomes a nightmare 😅

Her black saree look was stunning! But honestly, I wish she'd focus more on acting than fashion. After Pushpa, I expected more powerful performances. Hope Thama shows her range 🤞

First rain in Mumbai is special but also brings waterlogging problems. Celebrities enjoy the smell while common people struggle with potholes and traffic jams. Still, can't deny that petrichor feeling! 🌧️

Rashmika's film choices are interesting - from commercial masala like Pushpa to historical like Chhaava. Appreciate that she's not sticking to one genre. Waiting to see her with Ayushmann, that's an unusual pairing!

That inflatable cinema hall initiative in Gadchiroli is brilliant! More stars should promote cinema in rural areas. Rashmika seems grounded despite her stardom - her shoutout to her team shows good values 👍

Petrichor is nature's perfume! In Kerala, we have a saying - "Mazha peyyunnathinte sugandham" (the fragrance of raining). But Rashmika is right about work slowing down - film shoots get delayed, outdoor schedules go haywire!
